FACES
My body, my capital. My beauty, my success. A perfect appearance is crucial in a society in which people are obsessed with how they present themselves. “Your appearance allows you to score points when you’re with others, be it in a professional setting or your everyday life,” one protagonist aptly remarks. FACES portrays several women in China for whom cosmetic surgery has become the norm. Their need for recognition and their fear of rejection drive them to undergo plastic surgery again and again.
